“Gotti” Movie Story Re-surfaces in NY Times, And Paper Has No Idea What’s Going On

Share

Oh, the New York Times. What a mess! Briefly: they reported today that our old friend, Sal Carpanzano, is in trouble with the law. He’s been arrested on three separate fraud charges, one of them involving the “Gotti” movie that was never made and will never be made. Somehow, the NY Times reporter became convinced that “Gotti” producer Marc Fiore and his partner Fay Devlin are the injured parties. I will write more later, but for the time being you can read the history of the “Gotti” movie as reported exclusively here. Marc Fiore is an ex con who was part of a boiler room operation. He was written about in a book about the whole thing. I told you this whole story back in 2011-12. But it’s back. And there’s more tomorrow…
